MK Mickey Rosenthal: 'The police decided to recommend indicting Netanyahu'
Knesset Member Mickey Rosenthal (the Zionist Union) said during a Shabbat cultural event in Modi'in: "The police decided to recommend indicting Netanyahu on two counts—for accepting a forbidden gift and breach of trust."
Rosenthal said this after attorney Liat Ben-Ari, the attorney accompanying Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's interrogation, spoke about the question of gifts and said that "when it comes to hundreds of thousands of shekels given to a public servant, I find it hard to accept that this is only a gift from a friend to a friend." The prime minister's office said in response: "There is no basis to claim that anything was wrong with the relations between the prime minister and his colleagues."
